Patient's question:
Left nipple retraction, 14 years old, past treatment and effectiveness: No treatment, what kind of help is needed: Can it become normal?Doctor's answer:
Nipple inversion refers to a condition where the nipple does not protrude from the breast skin and cannot be pulled upward. First, you can manually pull the inverted nipple out of the breast and hold it in place for a period of time. If this method is not effective, you can try the syringe suction method.Prepare a 10-mL plastic syringe, remove the outer casing from the front end of the syringe; withdraw the needle core, turn the syringe over, and align the open end of the outer casing with the inverted nipple. Then, insert the needle core through the cut end of the syringe, gently suction, and use the negative pressure of the syringe to pull the inverted nipple out and hold it in place for 5-6 minutes. Repeat this 1-2 times daily.
